US embassy in Manila

[iKHiNG 0]

Hey guys, again

Do you guys know if the US embassy in Manila sends out a letter or a notice to the fiance(e) to inform her/him that they received the application and it's ok to schedule a visa interview?

I know the embassy in manila has this new appointment system that you can call or go online to schedule an appointment for a visa interview but I'm not sure if they still notify the beneficiary in the philippines OR he/she needs to call the embassy to confirm if they have the application already. I was just confused and amazed that on their website they have all the info and the forms needed..even the packet for completing the required documents!

The Manila Embassy will send a letter to both of you if they already received your approved petition. In some cases some people didn't get it, but i did got mine. You will receive this prior to Packet 4 with interview appointment.

I apologize for my reply, my case happend a year ago and i wasn't aware of the new changes. So to correct my act, i found out that the new procedure is that: you have to call for your interview appointment.

hmm..well my fiancee recieved her packet 3 on april 5th., we actually got confused too because of the new interview scheduling procedures, but got all clarified now. what happens now is she gathers the required docs, call for an interview and medical exam date. ill try to see if we have some more people here in vj who got a packet in their mails recently too.

good luck to all of us

Hey thanks guys!

So some people still getting their packet in the mail while others did not get anything at all they just called the embassy...? I'm gonna ask my fiancee to call the embassy and ask them about it just to make sure. I think this new system is nice but they should atleast send a letter or something confirming that the petition was received and ready to make an appointment for interview.

Hi!

Ok their website says: "Starting March 19, 2008, those applying for K-1,K-2,K-3 an K-4 visa(s) WHO HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE EMBASSY TO PREPARE FOR THEIR INTERVIEW....."

It means they are going to notify the applicant BEFORE calling to schedule an interview, right?
